There is no way in hell I would ever put Hogan on a Mount Rushmore of wrestling because of these actions. Any Superstar can be greedy and selfish, but a real Superstar looked out for others as they were also rising to the top because they knew their momentum wouldn't be stopped.

Its a cutthroat business, brother.

Ventura still gets paid by Vince, he really doesn’t seem too worried about “the boys” anymore now that he’s getting his

Hearsay from Ventura. Poor planning and organization by Ventura.

You are correct.

AJ plans on retireing in 2024-25 to be with his family. Hes not going anywhere. Gallows and Anderson are just not needed to keep AJ in the main event he can do it by him self. They just didnt want the competioton to have them.

@@LazarSoljaga I've heard that plan to retire crap forever never turns out to be the case

@@LazarSoljaga he is saying they re-signed his friends cause AJ.s contract was up and they want to keep him(maybe afraid he would jump to AEW perhaps?). it makes sense cause they released them shortly after

I doubt this to be the case. Aj went there two reasons 1) he always wanted to 2) he padded that retirement fund

Did Melzter Magoo tell you that twat

Everyone BUT the Wrestlers get benefits

Andre Ricardo Bryant not if you’re under contract a lot of red tape bullshit

They could not do anything to Punk because they cannot keep you from retiring. Just like in the NFL, if you never attempt to play for another league and you just don't want to play football at all any more, then they have no reason to bother you.

I've heard countless stories of guys asking Vince to be released from their contract and him letting them go.

That's just like an NFL contract .. They can do the same thing. No loyalty in sports.

James Sparks can’t unsee it now

I love these thumbnails 😂😂

I don't care it's only been an hour, you need more likes.

That wouldn't exactly be unprecedented as Vince has been known to shit his pants before! :D

MR. MCMAHON & HIS ASS!

see, if Vince was smart (& younger,) he would do that... but, when Bret got screwed, Vince really thought the fans would cheer him as a hero. "It's just business, pal!" (but, honestly, Vince IS really broken over releasing everyone...)

This comment is pure gold 🤣🤣🤣

He comes out sometimes and marks pop for him

Lmao.

@@fatcountry5606 I remember when he dominated a match against John Cena and I was baffled why he wouldn't pin him and win the title and his arrogance would cost him. (Before I found out it was scripted lol!)

This ☝

Lmao seriously..

Disney let go alot of people wheres the outrage?

@@chadk890 Disney cutting employees off doesn't mean you can't watch Bambi

Shame he ain't out on TV to milk it like he always did.

On one of these episodes, Jim read from a list of things an independent contractor is supposed to be allowed to do and it was hilarious how many things the WWE wrestlers can't do: set your own hours, etc etc

Which is ridiculous how are you a independent contractor if you're not allowed to leave, set your own hours, negotiate a fair wage, etc? I've heard rumors that they aren't really allowed to negotiate much when it comes to their contract outside of money. The number of days they have to work per year, the 90 day no compete clause, and the clause that allows them to add time on for injuries are non negotiable.

@glenn hill For the longest that was harsh truth but now not so much. There's no good reason to sign a contract like that when there are plenty of options .

@@richardtheconquerer for a minimum of a hundred grand a year. I suspend my sympathy

Just like UFC, without the insane schedule.

Where was this?

@@patrickmorrissey3084 Pretty sure it happened several times but I can confirm this happened in Quebec, Canada.

That's generally what happens. Unions in 2020 are not like steelworker unions in 1920. It has become politicized beyond their usefulness. No one is forcing anyone to work anywhere... Don't like your job? Leave and get a different job. Don't like how the WWE runs their business? Start your own unionized promotion. Then people like me will laugh and point as it crashes and burns in about 6 months because most who bitch about this type of thing know jack shit about what they're bitching about.

YQu're being TrQlled exactly. Unions have become completely politicized.

imagine if wrestling had a union all these years

Hogan is just a greedy prick

@@kael2450 maybe, but he made wrestling popular.

@@Gravydog316 still doesnt excuse him for being a POS

@@kael2450 & he was just doing what the writers wanted

You aren't alone 😂

Alamyst2011 I see any length Cornette vid and I hit like. He’s great to listen to.

@@nysportsfan2576 Same. The guy takes me back to being a youngster watching SMW, WCW and even WWF. He knows his stuff, tells it well and busts balls so good.

Shout out to Travis Heckle

Tobias Farragut thank you! x

@xMrsJericho 👍

ericlogos but look at those names. A guy like Heath Slater ain’t getting that.

So any person off the street ,without proven drawing power , should get a signing bonus?

@@davidnelson4347 Yes if they have been in company for 3-4 years and the company is heavily recruiting them to stay.

They need a union it makes no sense to work 300 days out of the year with no real insurance that you'll be employed beyond the next day.

Reeal Evans i disagree. It was stupid for what wwe signing all this talent to hoard them and you see it bit them right in the behind. Also if you’ve been in company for e-4 years and you ain’t making me money and I’m paying you a lot of money than I’m an idiot.

When are you going to AEW yourself ? hehe. Btw great match with Al snow. Loved it.

Damn right. I’ve never blamed Brock or anyone else for getting their’s. You bet your ass Vince gets his

F, I actually liked that mini show lol

Vince is a ruthless business man. He cares about himself and nobody else. Remember, before him nobody was ruthless enough to try a territory takeover. He was. He may have bought Snukals way out of a murder charge too. He didn't care about Nancy or her family. He cares about himself and his bank account.

What's interesting is that they have less than 10% of the viewership they used to have, but they're still running business as usual. Clearly this is not a wrestling company, it's a product company and the soulless appeal of it shows.

It's a really sick thing with major league sports too. Even with viewership and live attendance down before the pandemic, somehow the brand is worth more and more for potential revenue and advertising.

@v b It's really not that simple. People look back fondly on the Attitude Era, but they're only remembering the main stories. The Austin vs Mcmahon feud, Rock vs Austin, various programs involving Mick Foley, the concept of DX, the good parts of the Attitude Era were phenomenal, but the Attitude Era was a mess that, despite nostalgia, really shouldn't come back. Everything outside the main stories was a schizophrenic, bipolar nightmare where nothing made sense. The WWE just needs to let their wrestlers wrestle, they need to stop scripting promos, fire their entire writing staff, aside from the actual wrestlers on the writing staff and to accomplish this, someone needs to take out Kevin Dunn and brainwash Vince into handing the keys to the castle over to Triple H. Once *allllll* that is done, then we'll see an improved WWE. Adding more run ins and brawls when WWE already has too many would just muddy already swamp like waters.

haha i'm going to make it my ringtone 😂😂 WHATTHEFUCKKKWHATTHEFUCKKK 😂

@Sky Blaze21 tell me about it....just like Belichick, he let's the greatest QB of all time walk cause hes too "old"....I "Was" a Patriots fan, but now Brady went to Tampa Bay and I'm going with him lol actually ordered my Tampa Bay Brady jersey its on the way in the mail 😂

@Sky Blaze21 Belichick never won before Brady, he had 4 seasons and made the playoffs once....we can go back and forth all day on this subject lol just know I have my reasons for switching, its not just petty as Brady leaving....goes deeper than that for me...Brady leaving was just the straw that broke the camels back.....my problems with Belichick go all the way back to the first spygate

@Sky Blaze21 well that's yet to be determined if Bill is gonna win more championships....we gonna find out this year who needed who so buckle up gonna be a wild one lol I know one thing Brady is gonna light it up with Gronk Mike Evans and Godwin watch

@Sky Blaze21 same to you homie, good luck with your Skins, I hope Haskins has a great year.

because he is always in denial

thats true

I can think of 6 companies that'll happily take Maverick and WILL utilize him well.

He would make a great manager. WWE ruined their chance to make another Bobby Heenan with Drave Maverick.

@@TheKestevon Because he's NOT The Brain

@@bloodangel13 how was he not utilized well? Hes 5 foot 4, he was an entertainment wrestler and a GM. Theres not much more you can do with a guy that small. He did well.

Bullet Club is done bro, let it go

@@glennross85 I was gonna say... They're still a thing? fuck, it's like they've been running longer than the actual nWo.

Nah they should do what Mox did work Japan and AEW ,they will be great with the Revival and put some steel into the AEW tag division,if there are 4 guys who could make WWE regret letting them go they are it.

AEW

Live facecam. 😂

@@Cairo98_ and for aew

The Miz >> MJF

@@TheKestevon fax

or they weren't being used

I honestly believe it, the XFL was a success kind of, just this virus happen at the wrong time for a new league to start.

Brian, did you read any of the bankruptcy papers? They were fucked without corona.

Nah, Nate they were done. And I loved the league. It was hemorrhaging money.

...because most people who bitch about wanting to "unionize" don't even know what the fuck they're doing. Nor do they seem to understand business or supply and demand factors.

take a cold shower, pal!

No one in WWE will that

you think WWE is bland now? Wait till they unionize...it will kill wrestling

Glenn Ross, wrestling has been dead for years.

@@terrybrooks597 pretty much yeah....a union will be he final nail in the coffin, unions represent sameness, uniformity, it wont work with something like wrestling where individuality is everything btw: I like your books

I wish they were my books, I was only named after the author.

Ive always said Vince has some of the best attorneys in the WORLD. Throw in the fact that Linda used to be a paralegal and taught him about licensing and Connecticut/NY being one of, if not THE largest money hub in the world there are definitely pay offs/walking fine lines of legality going on

you should've squealed to the IRS, you might've got a reward

Ventura got his health coverage from SAG anyway! (Screen actors guild)

hey! that's my line!

Yeah I am kind of surprised Jim is on the SJW Feminist Transgender Trump hate train. He is smarter than that, but programming is programming. I guess its not all that surprising since the elite got everyone hating Trump.

Magick..... is Cornette really? I thought he was a southern conservative with common sense.

@@dennisjr77 Is he really what? He hates Trump like most people. Most people just like and hate what most other people do. Followers. I joke about the SJW, feminist, TS thing because every single one of those people hate Trump. People just don't have a clue what is going on on this planet.

Magick..... most people in California and media hate him because they’re sheep.... the rest of us.... not so much.

@@dennisjr77 Well, its the media that people listen to. That is how you control what people think. It snowballs from there.

@Joshua Quinn lol the stuff in njpw is way better then the stuff in wwe. Now i think your out of touch...

Joshua Quinn Well, aren’t you adorable. Everything that’s not WWE = indies in your mind, probably because you have the attention span of a fly. No, NJPW is the second largest promotion in the world with plenty of fans all around the world. Please educate yourself first

@Joshua Quinn The article you posted is from 2015, NJPW has grown significantly by now and has a large following all around the world. They sold out MSG and would have most likely done so again this year if it weren't for this pandemic. Also the Wikipedia article you quote specifically states that NJPW is NOT an indie promotion. They sell out Tokyo Dome every year, they went to England, MSG as I mentioned, and so on. So not an indie promotion by any standard. However I do apologise for the attention span comment, I'm a bit of a hothead

@Joshua Quinn marks... Using that word in a derogatory way makes you sound pretty stupid tbh. What difference does it make anyway who buys the tickets? It's an arena full of WRESTLING fans (or marks if you insist) smh. I'm a mark for good wrestling, because I WANT to enjoy and believe what is happening in the ring.

Joshua Quinn are you Jims pet parrot, minus the brain? Because you just mindlessly repeat snippets of things Jim Cornette says. I like wrestling, as in believable, sport-based wrestling. NJPW is the most sport-based promotion you‘ll find. No soap opera shit, no love triangles, just hard hitting wrestling. And yes there is flippy stuff too, but I don’t mind it as much as Jim does, as long as it’s not goofy. You cleary never watched a single NJPW match, if that’s all you reduce it down to. I‘m under a Jim Cornette video because he is the only „wrestling journalist“ or whatever that I can still take seriously, because I agree with about 90% of what he says. Saying nobody fucks, when the nobody fucks sell out MSG is just idiotic. Just because YOU think they suck and their fans are idiots doesn’t mean shit, because you are a mark yourself just for other promotions (SD/RAW?) Also why is everyone so fucking militant about the promotions they enjoy, I like NXT, NJPW, AEW, NWA in this order and for different reasons. If you only watch RAW/SD (god knows how you do it, without cutting yourself) go ahead, have fun, but please let me know why you enjoy it. Sorry for the rant, thank you fuck you bye

You're right, a guaranteed contract isn't 100% guaranteed just because of the name. If you want your money to be 100% guaranteed, it needs to be painstakingly written in as such, and at that point your employer probably won't sign it.

In the AFL (Australian football league) a contract is just used for players and teams to barter better deals now. Depending how long they have been in the league, an out of contract player can leave the club they are playing for by either going to the draft, or leave via free agency. If a player is currently contracted, an opposition team has to negotiate a trade, so clubs and players agree to "contract extensions" to get better deals from opposition teams. Contracts are basically barter items now days.

He already has. He killed wrestling 13 years ago.

@@Gravydog316 Seems Corny has some sense.
